Product Overview
Olympus OM-D E-M1X is a flagship mirrorless camera in the Micro Four Thirds-mount system. Introduced by Olympus in 2019, it comes with a micro four thirds sensor with 20 MP (5184 x 3888) resolution and a 2.36 million-dot EVF.
The camera has an excellent battery life, and you may just get away without a second battery.

Reviewer score 81% (normalized by Neofiliac)The Olympus OM-D E-M1X is a beefed-up EM1 Mark II, repackaging its 20 Megapixel sensor, 4k movies and 18fps bursts into a larger and tougher body. It has an integrated portrait grip, twin batteries, field sensors, improved autofocus tracking, USB power and even better built-in stabilisation. The camera can confidently handle action and wildlife shooting while shrugging-off cold, wet or dusty environments.
Pros
- Great image quality
- Excellent autofocus
- Excellent stabilisation
Cons
- No 4k at 60p
- No 4K at 30p

Reviewer score 84% (normalized by Neofiliac)The OM-D E-M1X is one of the best cameras for photographers that shoot extreme telephoto lenses. It has the best stabilization system we've ever seen, an 18 fps burst rate, and A.I.-assisted autofocus. Video has also been improved, with Olympus offering its most professional movie mode yet.
Pros
- Excellent image stabilization
- Excellent weather-sealing
- 4:2:2 8-bit video
Cons
- EVF isn’t perfect
pcmag[3]
Reviewer score 62% (normalized by Neofiliac)The E-M1X shoots video at up to 4K quality, in both the DCI and UHD formats. It can roll at 24, 25, or 30fps at 4K, and you can push it all the way to 120fps at 1080p. The enhanced subject recognition available when shooting stills in AF-C mode doesn't work for video.
Pros
- Compact, lightweight design
- Full-frame image stabilization
- 4K video
Cons
- Lack of dynamic range
- No manual exposure control
techradar[4]
Reviewer score 86% (normalized by Neofiliac) OM-D E-M1X has a 20.4MP Live MOS Four Thirds sensor, which is significantly smaller than full-frame types and smaller still than APS-C ones. High Res shot mode works on the now-familiar principle of capturing a number of images in quick succession before blending them together to create a single composite file. This is output at a maximum 50MP when capturing JPEGs (a smaller 25MP option is also available) in the handheld mode, and 80MP when shooting raw frames in the Tripod mode.
Pros
- Fantastic image stabilization
- Excellent battery life
Cons
- No 4K video option

Reviewer score 58% (normalized by Neofiliac)Olympus OM-D E-M1X is a fantastic camera for those who like to shoot sports. It’s also capable of producing better images in most situations. Despite the (relatively) small sensor, it copes fairly well with low light. Panasonic G9 is also aimed at wildlife and sports shooters, boasting 20fps at full resolution with full AF tracking.
Pros
- Small and compact
- Good image quality
- Good battery life
Cons
- Small sensor
- Limited range of lenses
